The ICD code L906 is used to code Stretch marks. Stretch marks or striae (singular stria) or striae distensae, as they are called in dermatology, are a form of scarring on the skin with an off-color hue. They are caused by tearing of the dermis, which over time may diminish, but will not disappear completely.
Are You Confident of the Diagnosis? Striae distensae are a common dermatologic complaint, most often affecting adolescents during puberty growth ’spurts’, or women in the last trimester of pregnancy. Striae can affect any area of the body, but in general spares the face.
–Striae from topical steroid abuse, such as in the treatment of psoriasis. –Anetoderma – usually on the trunk; circumscribed areas of flaccid skin which can be elevated, depressed or macular; histopathology reveals focal or complete loss of elastic tissue in the dermis.

Down syndrome is a genetic disorder. It is also called trisomy 21. It includes certain birth defects, learning problems, and facial features. A child with Down syndrome also may have heart defects and problems with vision and hearing.
Down syndrome is a genetic disorder that results in an extra copy of chromosome 21. People with mosaic Down syndrome have a mixture of cells. Some have two copies of chromosome 21, and some have three. Mosaic Down syndrome occurs in about 2 percent of all Down syndrome cases.
Translocation Down syndrome refers to the type of Down syndrome that is caused by rearranged chromosome material. In this case, there are three # 21 chromosomes, just like there are in trisomy 21, but one of the 21 chromosomes is attached to another chromosome, instead of being separate.
82: Other specified dorsopathies Cervical region.
Straightening of the cervical spine means that you have lost the good curve or the lordosis of the cervical spine. As far as it being caused by muscle spasms, I don't know if you were in a car accident or something that would have caused the muscles to be in spasm. It does not mean that you have scoliosis.
One of the more common causes of straightening of the normal cervical lordosis are car accidents in which the neck ligaments are damaged.

This is the official approximate match mapping between ICD9 and ICD10, as provided by the General Equivalency mapping crosswalk. This means that while there is no exact mapping between this ICD10 code L90.6 and a single ICD9 code, 701.3 is an approximate match for comparison and conversion purposes.
701.3 is a legacy non-billable code used to specify a medical diagnosis of striae atrophicae. This code was replaced on September 30, 2015 by its ICD-10 equivalent.

General Equivalence Map Definitions The ICD-9 and ICD-10 GEMs are used to facilitate linking between the diagnosis codes in ICD-9-CM and the new ICD-10-CM code set. The GEMs are the raw material from which providers, health information vendors and payers can derive specific applied mappings to meet their needs.
Striae distensae are a common dermatologic complaint, most often affecting adolescents during puberty growth ’spurts’, or women in the last trimester of pregnancy. Striae can affect any area of the body, but in general spares the face. The appearance of striae is often distressing to patients.
Striae are typically several centimeters in length and vary between a few millimeters to a few centimeters in width (Figure 1). Figure 1. Striae distensae on the abdomen of a young female.
The presence of striae distensae has no medical implications; however the cause of their appearance may need to be investigated. In patients presenting with striae distensae due to pubertal growth ’spurt’, increase in weight, pregnancy, and/or corticosteriod abuse, no further workup is required. In cases of suspected Cushing’s disease, referral to an endocrinologist is suggested.
